After years of speculation and a missed E3 showing, the Nintendo Switch - formerly known by its codename Nintendo NX - has been unleashed upon the world. The successor to the Wii U and 3DS is a portable handheld console with detachable controllers, with the option to connect to a TV or play standalone in tabletop mode. This has paved the way for many, many games - which we've listed in entirety in this article to help you work out what to play next.

GOG's latest sale offers escapes to dungeons, jails and fantasy worlds this weekend. Most notably from now through Monday August 14, Red Hook Studios' wonderful and brutally-challenging RPG Darkest Dungeon is on sale for £7.59/$10.73 with a 60 percent discount. I'll talk about the sale's other games in a second, but I first want to highlight this section of Ian Birnbaum's 88-scored review. You should of course read Ian's words in full, but this particular except strikes at the heart of what makes Darkest Dungeon work: The more I played, the more I grew detached from the heroes in my roster. I even refused to rename or invest in the veterans of multiple tours—exactly the opposite of my squads in XCOM, which were all customized and named for family and friends. Becoming attached would make it more stressful to send them on another ill-conceived quest for trinkets and coin, and even more disappointing when they came back broken and despondent. When the cost is … [Read more...] about Darkest Dungeon, Prison Architect, Figment are cheap in GOG’s weekend sale

Humble's Indie Mega Week sale is live now through Monday, August 6 at 10am PST / 6pm BST. There are loads of great games going cheap and, as always, I've stuck a few of my favourites up there in the headline. Mentioning that early makes for a nice wee bridge from up there to down here. It also lets me cut to the chase and tell you Playdead's Inside is on sale for £6.74/your regional equivalent, with a 55 percent reduction. Likewise, Frictional's wonderful space horror 'em up Soma costs £4.59 (-80 percent); and Red Hook's Darkest Dungeon is going for £5.69 (-70 percent). If you like Soma, you might like the same studio's Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs—which are both on sale for £2.24, 85 percent less their normal price. Undertale is great too, and at £3.99 (half price) it's absolutely worth you time. I liked this excerpt from Richard Cobbett's 91-scored review:To miss it though is to miss out. Undertale isn’t … [Read more...] about Inside, Soma, Darkest Dungeon going cheap in Humble’s Indie Mega Week sale

At first glance, Untitled Publisher's Bravery Network Online (revealed just now at the PC Gaming Show) reminds me of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World mixed with Pokemon. The trailer above boasts turn-based fighting, you see, hand-drawn comic book-style characters, zany combat combos, a catchy soundtrack and—perhaps you're best taking a look yourself. Between its Flicker Gloves and Round Ends, Claymores and Tag Outs, Pecks (my favourite) and Shrieks, I'm not really sure what's going on there, but it sure looks fun. Outlandish moves accompany eccentric costumes and an excitable referee—and the in-line, cycleable character system reminds me a wee bit of Red Hook Studios' Darkest Dungeon.No details yet on when Bravery Network Online will be ready to rumble, but we'll update you as and when we know more. … [Read more...] about Bravery Network Online is a fast and frantic Pokemon-style RPG

Red Hook Studios’ moody and infuriating Darkest Dungeon has met with a lot of critical praise (including from yours truly). Its atmosphere, its bracing strategic challenges, its willingness to explore the darker side of dungeon-crawling, all earned plaudits for Red Hook. I particularly liked the fact that, unlike most games that flaunt their difficulty, there was a sobriety and maturity to Darkest Dungeon. It didn’t need to beat its chest about how challenging it was; the developers had the confidence to let the game speak for itself. And oh the things this game said. What I did not know is that Darkest Dungeon was inspired, in part, by a tabletop RPG: Burning Wheel’s Torchbearer, which was sporting several freshly printed adventures and new Nordic setting at GenCon this year. If you liked Darkest Dungeon, and you’ve had a hankering to recreate its experience at your gaming table, then I’d very strongly recommend taking a look at Thor Olavsrud and … [Read more...] about Opinion: A look at the tabletop RPG that inspired Darkest Dungeon
